About
Sarah Taylor is a doctoral student of cultural anthropology at SUNY Albany. She received her MA in Applied Anthropology from CSU Long Beach, and her thesis is titled Gracias a los Gringos: Negotiating Tourism and Community Development, and is based on research in the village of Ek’Balam, Yucatán. Sarah began work in Ek’Balam as an undergraduate in 2004 and plans to continue her dissertation fieldwork there. The main research foci include the actual and potential role of “community” in community-based tourism development, participatory research design, and the shifting household economic strategies employed by residents as they negotiate with the arrival of tourism in their daily lives.
